Videobooks for Children
Magic Reader Classics are children's books on video. Every word of text appears onscreen, tracked by a magic wand. Each book is abridged to about 75 read-aloud minutes, the same length as a regular children's movie. Our first four titles will soon be available on all major download platforms; in the meantime, please enjoy the sample clips below!
"In the kingdom of Syria, there lived a boy named Aladdin..." So begins this ancient tale of magic, intrigue, jewels, and genies! Follow along with Pinky, Angel, and Gus as Biblio reads from the magic scroll.
Fall with Alice down the White Rabbit's hole, into a land of fancy and imagination. This story abridged from Lewis Carroll's original text features all the great characters you remember, from the Caterpillar to the mysterious Cheshire Cat!
Fly with Wendy, John, and Michael to the Neverland, where Peter and his Lost Boys do battle with the dread Captain Hook! This classic abridged from J. M. Barrie's original text is as magical as you remember it.
Travel with Dorothy and Toto across the land of Oz in L. Frank Baum's American classic. Help the Scarecrow get his brains, the Tin Woodman his heart, and the poor Cowardly Lion just a little bit of courage!
